Orange County Wedding Photographer | Hannah & Steve

Huntington Beach Beauty!

I recently shot a wedding with PortrayLife of Hannah and Steve who were not only a stunning couple but also a very sweet one a well. I really had a great time shooting their wedding. They definitely took the time to really engage with each other and take it all in. One of my favorites below is of Steve whispering one of many sweet nothings into Hannah ears. Check these out!

The Webb Barn, Connecticut | Rose & David

A Gorgeous Rose …

So, I have finally decided to put a little sneak peek of Rose and David’s gorgeous Connecticut wedding up on my blog because I have so many people asking about it. I am trying to get it published which is why I have been withholding this top secret portraiture :-) Rose put so much thought and detail into her wedding, with the help of Candice Coppola from Jubilee Events. I will be doing a couple of different posts in the near future to show all of the beautiful details. For now, here are a few snapshots of the most beautiful part of the wedding … Rose!

New Love … New York

From Connecticut to New York

Sooo … you may have been wondering what has happened to me these last few months as I have completely neglected by blog. Well, it’s called Summer Vacation. Yes, that’s right. All of you parents out there who have kids in school know what I’m talking about. I had a fabulous but very busy summer and now the fall is settling in, quite nicely I may add, and the my work hours are getting settled once again. Ahhh …. time to get typin’ and all caught up. Or, just you caught up on the happenings of Stephanie Ann Photography. Right after my last post, I headed to New York, New York for a wedding which actually took place in Connecticut. That post is coming up shortly, but, before then here is a little look at my day … no, day and a half, in my newest, favorite city, New York …

OK, so these first few pictures are actually taken in Connecticut. We stumbled across this bus and fell in love …

I love me some brick walls. So quintessential New York. Except, this too was taken in Connecticut :-)

This one caught our eyes because of the lighting, shadows, and the one purple curtain hanging out of the window. This was in Chelsea which is in New York!

Although I could do without the odor … the New York subway system was the best thing ever during a hot day in New York. It was so easy to get around and had great people watching.

Adriana & Jose

A couple of weeks ago I got to shoot Adriana and Jose’s wedding. It was a beautiful, authentic Mexican wedding with a full Spanish mass and a great mariachi band at the reception which equals a brilliant time to be had. Since pictures were so important to Adriana and Jose they scheduled a good two hours for us to do portraits in between the ceremony and reception and we definitely made the most of it! We met up at the Orange Circle and walked around using all of the circle’s urban chic charm :-) Adriana, who is definitely more on the quieter side really new how to strike a pose. I didn’t really have to guide them and it was awesome! Adriana is breathtakingly beautiful and Jose is completely hilarious! They are definitely a great match and balance each out. Check out just how amazing this beautiful couple is …
